That's pretty much what I had in the house in CA. Since the trusses were made from 2x4 lumber, it wouldn't hold much weight either. I laid a floor in it around the trusses with pre-cut 2' x 4' plywood pieces from Home Depot or Lowe's. I used screws to fasten them down, cheap zine plated one, about one or 1 1/4 inches long. I have two cordless drills, loaded one with a drill bit that countersunk, and the other with a phillips driver bit, and went after it. If I had to notch out for the trusses, power lines, or plumbing, I did that with a saber saw.

You can do quite a bit in a day.
